Toall whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. KALLEN- BAUGH, a citizen of the United States residing at Duquesne,.in the county of vented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Pistols, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to toy pistols and has for its object to provide a, toy of such class, with means for exploding paper caps and further with means for projecting a stream of water substantially simultaneously with the exploding of the caps.

A further object of the invention is to provide a toy pistol in a manner as hereinafter set forth, with means for positioning a detonating charge in the path of a firing lever to be exploded during the cocking of said lever.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a toy, pistol which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, convenient in its use and inexpensive to manufacture.

, With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several vicws:-Figure 1 is a side elevation of a toy pistol in accordance with this invention. Fig- 2 is an elevation illustrating the mechanism of the pistol. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view, on line X X, Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of a modification.

Referring to the drawings in detail the pistol includes a supporting section and an inclosing section. The said supporting section consists of a body portion 1, having an extension 2 to represent a part of the barrel of the pistol and further having an extension 3 to provide a section of the handle of the pistol. The supporting section has in the inner face of the extension 3 a recess 4 with which communicates a groove 5, the latter extending from the recess 4, through the body portion 1 and to the free end of kllegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have inthe hammer.

' the extension 2. The'groove 5 iscurvilinear 1n contour and is adapted to have mounted therein a flexible tube 6, which communicates with a hollow spherical member .7 providingthe water reservoir. The member 7 is seated in the recess 4.

Fixed inthe body portion 1 is a pin 8, upon which is revolubly mounted a disk 9, having a toothedv edge 10 and arranged against said disk 9' and upon the pin 8 is a coil strip 11 which is in the form of the ordinary paper cap strip and the free end of said strip, which as indicated at 12 "extends up between a pair of guides 13 and is arranged behind an abutment 14. As is well known the paper cap strip .has arranged therein, at equally distant points, detonating charges and the disk 9 is capable of being shifted so that a detonating charge will be positioned at the abutment 14 and in the path of the hammer whereby when the trigger is pulled the hammer will strike the paper strip and explode the charge.

' The disk 9 is shifted by a spring pressed pawl 15, which has. a nose 16, engaging teeth 10. The pawl 15 rests upon a supporting pin 17 which is carried by the body portion 1, and bearing against said pawl is a spring 18, secured to a pin 19 attached to the body portion 1 of the supporting sec-.

tion.

Secured to the inner face of the body por- Patented June 13,1916. 1

tion 1 of the supporting section, and rear wardly with respect to the pin 8, is a ivot 20, upon which thelower portion of a ammer-21 is pivoted. The pawl 15 is pivotallyconnected to the hammer as at 22. The

hammer 21 has a striking head 23, and a finger piece 24, to facilitate the cocking of The rear of the hammer 21, near the lower portion thereof, has a rearward extension 24*, which bears against a flat spring 25 secured at one end, as at 26, on a stud 27 which is carried by the extension 3. The cooking of the hammer 21 is against the action of the spring 25. The bottom edge of the hammer 21 has a concave notch 28 into which extends the nose 29, of

a trigger '30, the latter being mounted upon a pivot 31, secured to the body portion 1, below the groove 5.

In the foregoing construction and arrangement of parts, it is'obvious when the hammer 21 is cocked the pawl 15 will be pulled rearwardly turning the disk 9 upon the pin 8, whereby the paper cap strip cari rying the detonating with a pair charges will shift up through the guides 13. The shifting movement of the strip 12 will be discontinued when the hammer has been cocked. When the hammer is actuated through the medium of the spring 25 when the trigger 30 is shifted, the pawl 15 will be moved forward to a position to engage in the teeth 10 when the hammer is cocked again.

The closure section consists of a body portion 32, an extension 33 which forms the other section of a handle and an extension 34 which forms the other section of a barrel. The closure section is mounted against the supporting section and maintained in position by the hold fast devices 35. The extension 33 lowed'so as to receive a part of the spherical member 7 and said extension 33 has a push button 36, which when forced inwardly, will cause the projectin of astream of water from the member outwardly through the tube 6. The projecting of the stream of water can be accomplished simultaneously with the firing of v a detonating charge by the striking head 23 of the hammer.

The body portion 1 of the supporting section, is 0 set to represent a portion of the cylinder of a pistol, as at 37, and the body portion 32 of of parallel strips 38, 39, into of the closure section is hol-' the closure section is provided which isarranged a slide 40 representin the other half of the cylinder of the pisto The modification shown in Fig. 4.- consists of a pair of push buttons 36 in lieu of a single push button. {a

What I claim is v A toy pistol comprising a body portion having 2. depending handle provided therein near its lower. end with a spherical recess, said handle further having the lower end thereof formed with an opening communicating with the said recess, a reciprocatory push button extending through said opening and connected to said hollow spherical member arranged in said recess and constituting a water reservoir handle, a
